SEAWORLD ALSO PLEDGED $10 MILLION IN MATCHING FUNDS FOR KILLER WHALE RESEARCH. FANTASY FOOTBALL GETS BIGGER EVERY YEAR AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE SIGNING UP. Devin: WOULD YOU PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO JOIN A LEAGUE? WHAT IF BRAGGING RIGHTS OVER JUSTIN VERLANDER WERE PART OF THE DEAL? Jamie: WHEN MANY OF US SIT DOWN TO PLAY FANTASY FOOTBALL, WE'LL PLAY AGAINST FRIENDS OR COWORKERS. THEY GET TO PLAY WITH THE TIGERS. HOW COOL IS THAT? HEY, MIGGY, ARE YOU GONNA WIN THIS THING? SURE. Jamie: ASK MAX SCHERZER. WIN THE LEAGUE TWICE AND YOU HAVE THAT TYPE OF HARDWARE, YOU LET EVERYBODY KNOW, I'M BETTER THAN YOU. Jamie: CLEARLY MAX HAS BEATEN HIS TEAMMATES A FEW YEARS RUNNING. HE PUT HIS SKILLS ON THE LINE AGAINST FANS AND CALLING IT THE MOTOWN SHOWDOWN. PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT LOCAL CHARITIES. ACTUALLY THIS STARTED LAST YEAR IN ST. LOUIS. Jamie: $3,000 GETS YOU A SPOT IN THE LEAGUE, A TOUR OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND A CHANCE TO MEET AND PLAY AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE TIGERS. JUST BECAUSE THEY MAY LOOK UP TO THEM ON THE FIELD, THESE FANS TOTALLY PLAN TO LOOK DOWN ON THEM IN THE STANDINGS. WE'LL TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'S IN LAST PLACE. WE'LL TRY NOT TO BE STAR STRUCK. Jamie: HALF THE BATTLE IS COMING UP WITH THE PERFECT NAME. I WAS JANK THE TANK, LIKE FRANK THE TANK. Jamie: FINALLY THE TRASH TALKING. [INDISCERNIBLE]. WE TALK A LOT OF TRASH IN THE CLUBHOUSE ABOUT FANTASY FOOTBALL, SO MIGHT AS WELL RAISE MONEY FOR IT, AS WELL. Jamie: THE WINNER THE MOTOWN SHOWDOWN GETS THIS COOL TROPHY SIGNED BY ALL THE TIGERS AND THEY'RE ALSO IN THE RUNNING TO WIN CASH AND PRIZES.
